should be hiring even more deputies. Garton urged department heads to ask if they saw a de - sire for more help in combat- ting the problem. "If we're not making head- way, we're going to know it pretty quickly," Sheriff Dave Hencratt said. Hencratt said the addi - tion of a deputy position will allow one deputy to work nearly full time on the is- sue. That deputy would be supported by the Tehama Interagency Drug Enforce- ment task force and exist- ing deputies. The new positions will work with a recently hired legal secretary, Chief Ad - ministrator Bill Goodwin said. Goodwin said the legal secretary should be able to improve efficiency with code enforcements. "It's a start not an end all," Goodwin said. In July 2013 the Board of Supervisors adopted an even more stringent mari - juana cultivation ordinance than it had originally put in place in 2010. However the timing of the new ordinance came at the end of the grow season, leav - ing 2014 to be the first year the county anticipated see- ing its benefits. With planting season al- ready underway, Supervisor Burt Bundy said he wanted to see an early effort at erad- ication of illicit grows. Bundy said if the grows continue on during the sea- son they will have an impact on the local water supply, specifically citing a situation with Mill Creek last year. The cost of the enforce - ment officer, about $61,840 yearly, will be shared by the sheriff, planning and environmental health de - partments. An additional sheriff's deputy will cost the county around $68,474 per year plus an additional $36,000 for a vehicle. Supervisors From Page 1 and indicated they would not challenge the rejection. The board granted a mi- nor irregularity for the Gal- lino bid for a missing sub- contractor license number. It also allowed Gallino to substi- tute itself as the subcontrac- tor for insulation work on the project, after it was learned the listed license had lapsed. Seven bids were received for the work. Gallino is based out of Redding. The county has allocated $1.8 million for the Agricul - tural Center Building, which will also house the Air Pollu- tion Control District, which is providing a $100,000 lump sum contribution in lieu of monthly rent. The center will be located on the north side of the coun - ty's Walnut Street Complex, adjacent to the Animal Care Center. The purchase of property for the interim Day Report - ing Center will come from AB-109 Realignment Funds. Another $174,000 is bud- geted for facility improve- ments at the sites. Among the work that would need to be done is the demolishing of a residential building at the site. County From Page 1 Building Where is it? Where will it be? When? Cost?

The practice — known as burl poaching — has become so prevalent along the North - ern California coast that Red- wood National and State Parks on Saturday started closing the popular Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway at night in a desperate attempt to deter thieves. Law enforcement Ranger Laura Denny said Tuesday that poachers have been stalk - ing the remote reaches of the park with their chain saws and ATVs for decades, but lately the size and frequency of thefts have been on the rise. "When I interview suspects, that is the (reason) they say: their addiction to drugs and they can't find jobs," she said. Jobs are hard to come by since the timber and commer - cial fishing industries went into decline. "Originally there were 2 mil- lion acres of old growth for- est that spanned the coast of Northern California from Or- egon to Monterey," he said. "Overthepast150years,95per- cent of that original forest has been cut. The only remaining old growth forest in existence now is almost entirely within the Redwood national park" CaliFornia Redwood park closes road to deter burl poachers LAURA DENN — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS This May 21, 2013 photo provided by the National Park Service shows wildlife biologist Terry Hines standing next to a massive scar on an old growth redwood tree in the Redwood National and State Parks near Klamath, Calif. By Juliet Williams The Associated Press SaCramento, CaliF. » A Republican candidate for California governor is com- paring President Barack Obama's gun control poli- cies with those of dictators such as Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and North Korea's Kim Jong Il. State Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, posted a Twitter message Tuesday with an image that compared what he said were figures who have supported gun rights with those who have supported gun control. Those he said "stood for gun rights" were George Washington, Thomas Jeffer - son, James Madison, Abra- ham Lincoln, Mahatma Gan- dhi and Martin Luther King Jr. He said Hitler, Stalin, Kim, King George III, Mao Zedong and Obama "stood for gun control." "Which side would you choose?" Donnelly said in his Twitter message. In a statement later Tues - day from his campaign to The Associated Press, Don- nelly said he was standing up for the Second Amend- ment, which he said recog- nizes an "unalienable right to defend your life." "When government be- comes the greatest threat to the very rights it was formed to protect, that is tyranny," he said in the statement. "Tyranny is the daily pur - pose of dictators, and I will not apologize for pointing out that our current presi- dent acts more like a dictator than a leader of a free people in a Constitutional Republic." raCe For governor Ob am a' s gu ns policy like Hitler, can di da te s ay s By John rogers The Associated Press loS angeleS » Word last week that a Northern Cali- fornia couple found $10 mil- lion in gold coins while walk- ing their dog has set off a Gold Rush of theories over who left behind all that loot. One is that Jesse James' gang deposited it in hopes of someday financing a second Civil War. Another postu - lates that the gold originally belonged to gentleman rob- ber Black Bart, who wrote poetry when he wasn't stick- ing up stagecoaches. But the theory gaining the most traction this week is that the hoard is made up of most of the $30,000 in gold coins that Walter Dimmick stole from the U.S. Mint in San Francisco in 1901. The coins were never recovered. That theory, from fish - ing guide and amateur coin historian Jack Trout, set off a flurry of calls to the U.S. Mint after it was reported by the San Francisco Chronicle on Monday. The Northern California couple's coins are called the Saddle Ridge Hoard after the area of the couple's land where they were discovered. "We do not have any in - formation linking the Sad- dle Ridge Hoard coins to any thefts at any United States Mint facility," mint officials said in a statement issued Tuesday. Although Trout acknowl - edges he can't prove his the- ory, he still thinks he's right. "There is no real direct proof, but I am getting more research in on this," he told The Associated Press by phone Tuesday from Chile, where he lives part of the year. Dimmick is said to have spirited six sealed bags — each filled with 250 $20 gold pieces — out of the mint, where he was the chief ca - shier.

The Passing Parade is brought to you by by Minch Property Management, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527 5514 THE PASSING PARADE A week ago I wrote of The New Yorker magazine writer Roger Angell and his musings on his 93 years titled "This Old Man". Here follows more excerpts from his brilliant essay. "A few notes about age is my aim here, but a little more about loss is inevitable. Casey Stengel put it this way: 'Most of the people my age is dead. You could look it up.' Our dead are almost beyond counting and we want to herd them along, pen them up somewhere in order to keep them straight. They have departed but gestures and glances and tones of voice of theirs, even scraps of clothing, that pale yellow Saks scarf…reappearing unexpectedly, along with accompanying of sweetness or irritation. I like to think of the departed as fellow- voyagers crowded aboard the Ile de France for my viewing. Their names are best kept in mind rather than boxed and put away somewere. Old letters are engrossing but feel historic in numbers, photo albums delightful but with a glum after-kick like a chocolate Carmel. Home movies are killers with long gone dogs rushing from left to right with tennis balls in mouth. My list of names is banal but astounding, and it's barely a fraction, the ones that slip into view in the first minutes or two. Anyone over sixty knows this. I don't go there often, but once I start, the battalion of the dead is on duty, alertly waiting. Why do they sustain me so, cheer me up, and remind me of life? I don't understand this. Why am I not endlessly grieving? What I've come to count on is the white-coated attendant of memory, silently here again to deliver dabs from the laboratory dish of me. In the days before my wife Carol died, twenty months ago, she lay semiconscious in bed at home, alternating periods of faint, imperceptible breathing with deep shuddering catch-up breaths. Then, in a delicate gesture, she would run the tip of her tongue lightly around the upper curve of her teeth and then repeat the pattern. I've forgotten, perhaps mercifully, much of what happened in that last week and the weeks after. Carol is around still, but less reliably. For almost a year I would wake up from yet another late-afternoon mini-nap in the same living-room chair, and, in the instants before clarity, would sense her sitting in her own chair, just opposite. Not a ghost but a presence, alive as before and in the same instant gone again. This happened often, and I almost came to count on it, knowing that it wouldn't last. Then it stopped. I'm leaving out a lot, I see, but getting old is the second biggest surprise of my life. The first is our unceasing need for deep attachment and intimate love. We oldies yearn daily for conversation and renewed domesticity. I believe everyone wants to be with someone tonight, together in the dark, with the sweet warmth of a hip or a foot or a bare expanse of a shoulder within reach. Those of us who have lost that, whatever our age, never lose the longing: just look at our faces. If it returns, we seize upon it avidly, stunned and altered again." Or so says Roger Angell.
